STOP HURTING EACH OTHER
It’s so easy to cast verbal and physical “stones of hurt and pain” when someone is down and out and/or needy. Why is that? Is it the evolutionary theory, so ingrained in our gene pool, that we have the right to attack humans when they are at their lowest level of energy, and destroy their psyche? Mental, physical, and emotional abuses are all abuses and cause severe pain. Probably the genetic tendency to prey on the weakest of the human species applies to all of us. But as humans . . . we have a conscious choice and an inner awareness of the existence of a higher power. No matter who or what you believe in as higher than yourself (even not believing in something more powerful than yourself is believing in something) and in my humble opinion, spiritual/cosmic energy “demands” we do the right thing and love one another as we would love ourselves.
Human beings can think and make a conscious choice to do right . . . or wrong, and then act on those choices. People can and must, stop and hesitate for a few seconds before judging and inflicting pain on others. Instead . . . of judgment or pain, try to extend a helping hand to your neighbors and friends, and while you’re at it, remember the times when you were not so fortunate in your own life, and someone held out their hand to help you, or stepped in to defend you. I’ll bet you remember the smallest of loving gestures and how they made you feel. I’ll also bet you remember the painful times when you were hurt or embarrassed. You do remember them, don’t you! Think about the good gestures and how they affected your life. Allow the negative encounters to go by the wayside through forgiveness. Sometimes, forgiveness of self is the answer to negative feelings. Sometimes, we must forgive the pain others caused us and let it go into the light.
We live in a world community of brothers and sisters, and the sooner we recognize that we impact one another every day in the super-consciousness, the sooner we�ll reach some kind of enlightenment on our great planet. We sit in judgment of �Movie Stars� who are reaching out to humans in other nations, and making a difference in their lives. Here at home in America, we sit by and do nothing to provide assistance to one another.
We don�t have to go to other nations to be aware of one another�s needs. Awareness begins at home, moves out to other members of the family, then . . . spreads into our communities and then . . . the entire state and nation. If that sounds pollyannaish, give it a try!
Goodness is contagious and so is love. The people of the United States are good and noble people, but are overwhelmed by problems they see everyday in the news, and don�t seem to know how to reach beyond their own families. The secret is . . . do what you can everyday. Begin with your own family members. That�s the secret to beginning a successful human awareness campaign. Just . . . �Take A Stand, and Stop Hurting One Another.� It�s a good way to start everyday. I assure you, once you change your attitude, you�ll see something akin to miracles begin to happen in your life and those around you. Goodness and love have a way of spreading their wings and growing into mighty angels. Try it!
